This billboard has come up in Indiana- US, by the side of a major highway near the Washington Street Exit. Apparently this billboard has rattled a certain very peaceful community living there 🤲🏼

Am so glad you brought this up @iamyusufpathan ! It’s always good to remind people at regular intervals that Adina Masjid was built by destroying a Pala era Shiva mandir, the mandir of Adinath. It’s always good to show to the world how an entire temple doorway in black stone

“As an American-born Bengali who practices Hindu, I always strive to preserve my background & culture. This love for my culture is evident in the photo of me that was first shared on a NASA blog in March & recently…” (as reads Pratima Roy’s LinkedIn bio) Happy she stood firm

In the 1990s, Kashmiri Hindus had to take permission from the I$lamists to get a safe passage so that they could travel to Haridwar and perform last rites for a d€ad family member! Indian secularism in a nutshell.

The Caption reads: Naked slave-girl pours water for her master to clean himself before praying to Allah- 1910. Am writing an article on Hindu slave trade under islamic domination in medieval period, & came across this image. Apparently women slaves were kept naked /partly naked

This is what happens when people don’t study their history. Sindoor is the colour of fertility (menstrual blood), & signifies the readiness of a woman to procreate & give birth. A man does not have these biological characteristics; hence sindoor on him is meaningless & stupid!

This is how Bengali culture looks like. It has nothing to do with anything Arabic or Farsi. Devotees carrying tall mashaals (burning reed stalk columns) during Kali Puja. What a beautiful celebration of Maa 🌺

It now seems the Harappan culture was not the start of Indian civilisation, but just another dot in our long story of human civilisation. New studies have revealed that humans lived in Gujarat's Kutch area over 12,000 years ago, predating the Harappan culture by 5000 years.
